Just to clarify: by default, fetchmail will try to deliver mail via SMTP to port 25 on the machine where it is running. This is usually the port where your MTA (sendmail, smail, etc.) is listening. This way, incoming mail fetched with sendmail can be treated just like local mail sent by somebody with a local account on your machine/ethernet. It is the MTA that puts that incoming mail in the spool directory (usually /var/spool/mail/$USER.). -- Gonzalo A. Diethelm G.
